About the DHRF

The Dubai Human Resources Forum (DHRF) was founded in the mid 1970’s by a number of enthusiastic HR Managers who were keen to network, share experiences and seek continuous professional development. The Forum is open to anyone who is connected with Human Resources and wishes to pursue those objectives.

The Dubai Human Resources Forum currently has over 300 members representing over 150 companies from most business sectors across the Emirates. The DHRF is an organisation member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development in the UK and will encourage the attainment of professional standards for those that seek them. Although its status is a Forum of professionals, the managing committee recommended its registration as a professional body with the Department of Economic Development in early 2002.

The Forum is managed by an elected committee which meets monthly to organise approximately 18 seminars, workshops, site visits and other events each year to achieve the DHRF’s objectives. Noted international and local speakers are invited to address the Forum, including members, on topics covering mainstream HR practices, Personal Development, Business Excellence and topical HR issues of common concern.

The membership fee is AED 300/- per annum (January to December) and there is a AED 150/- joining fee. All the events are free to members including a lavish annual social event incorporating the AGM.
